Col 849 Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Musielak is a Swindon asset now. If Wolves can get Woffinden and/or Piotr Pawlicki to return, they have no need to sign Lindgren or Thorsell. Edited November 5, 2017 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Going on the non movement in Poland for Freddie and Jacob I would guess that their injuries are of such they may take 12 months to be fit and therefore possibly out of any team plans here and there until given the all clear. Sam Masters 7.92 Rory Schlein 7.72 and Kyle Howarth 6.64 should be able to return and this would need another big hitter to be signed and if Piotr Pawlicki can be tempted by the fixed race nights then he would be the ideal signing. Going on a possible 41 point limit this would leave enough for Nathan Greaves 2.54 to return at reserve and leave 8.86 for the last two. Ricky Wells 6.74 and a 2.00 like Jack Parkinson Blackburn would be a decent coupke of signings or go with the Broc Nicol and Luke Becker combination giving a bit more at reserve. Sam Masters Kyle Howarth Ricky Wells (Nicol) Rory Schlein Piotr Pawlicki Nathan Greaves JPB (Becker) Tai Woffinden ended 2014 on 7.03 and his return in 2016 moved that up to 8.63 but highly unlikely to return to racing here any time soon unless the latest developments in Poland are not resolved Edited November 5, 2017 by T.N.T.

dabbsjoe 149 Posted November 6, 2017 would not be having either Nicol or Becker in the team, they clearly aren't ready and would need time in the championship first. also as has been proven time and again in league racing you need a strong reserve at all times.

Perton Wolf 396 Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Moving Greaves up to no6/senior reserve risks what happened with Clegg this season. Edited November 6, 2017 by Perton Wolf 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted November 6, 2017 Moving Greaves up to no6/senior reserve risks what happened with Clegg this season. I agree. The lesson learned should be to look at more solidity throughout the side with a strong number 6 who can float between top 5 and reserve. Securing a strong number 1 (Fred, Tai, Piotr) is still essential. Hopefully Nicki P isn't under consideration. One of the first questions I will be asking at the upcoming talk in later this month.

Unless the Polish Ekstraliga clubs relax the rules, no Danes riding in it will also ride in Britain unless they miss out on an Elitserein spot. I think it very unlikely that the Ekstraliga will relax the rules despite rumors. Pedersen has already signed for Tarnow. Doubt Pedersen would wish to return to Monmore.

Iversen is saying he is open to coming back to the UK next season and Vaculik has already signed for Leicester. Both ride in Poland, Sweden and own country.

I don't know of any other line of work where you can be equally employed by different people. Who decides who is the 'main' employer?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
